SCARCE OMEGA POLAR PLAISTED EXPEDITION SPEEDMASTER CAL 321 1968 VINTAGE
One of the 4 given by Omega to be worn in Expedition



Price: US $99,000.00

Here's your once in a lifetime opportunity to own an important Historical timepiece:
OMEGA SPEEDMASTER POLAR PLAISTED EXPEDITION watch that has been worn by one of the four people
that were on the 1968 Expedition.
There were given ONLY FOUR watches by the Omega's manufacture to be worn in this particular expedition
but we are not certain how many still exist today!
According to our research, we think this watch belonged to Jean-Luc Bombardier, who was the technician and scout in this expedition,
the nephew of the inventor of the Ski-Doo, Joseph-Armand Bombardier's(Bombardier's founder).

History:

~ P L A I S T E D E X P E D I T I O N 1968 ~

After the space adventure of American astronauts in the Gemini program, the Speedmaster set a new record :
44 days on the polar cap at temperatures as low as -52°.
On the 19th of April 1968, after travelling 44 days and 1320 kilometres across the polar cap, four men calculate their location with a sextant and a Speedmaster: they reached the 90 degrees latitude North, which is the Geographic North Pole.
This was verified by the U.S. Air Force, the weather reconnaissance aircraft "Lark 47", confirmed their position by radio.
Two Air Force navigators, using gyro-compasses, confirmed also the fact that these four men were indeed at 90° North.

This advance team of the Plaisted expedition of 1968 was formed by:

Ralph S. Plaisted, 40 years (the leader), Gerald Pitzl,34 years (the navigator),
Walter Pederson, 40 years(the mechanical engineer) and respectively,
Jean-Luc Bombardier (29 years) who was the scout and technician of the group.
